90-day records review starts for IMAs Published Sept. 5, 2008 By Master Sgt. J.C. Woodring Air Reserve Personnel Center Public Affairs DENVER (AFPN) -- Airmen who are Individual Mobilization Augmentees or are in the Participating Individual Ready Reserve category have 90 days to review their electronic personnel records, Air Reserve Personnel Center officials announced Sept. 4. Paper versions of the field records, technically called the Unit Personnel Record Group, have been scanned into the Automated Record Management System, which was completed July 31 and reviewed for quality assurance, said Debi Young, ARPC's quality records management director. "Active duty records were digitized before ours. We are following the active duty lead," she said. "It is the Citizen Airmen's responsibility to review their records to ensure they are complete." Records are available through AFPC Secure, a Web site run by the Air Force Personnel Center. They are available online at http://wwa.afpc.randolph.af.mil/redirector/afpcsecure/default.htm. Once logged in, Airmen can click on the "ARMS Member" link to review their individual records. This can be done from a military or government system, or it can be accessed with a common access card reader, Ms. Young said. If documents appear to be missing or Airmen believe an item shouldn't be in their record, they can call the Reserve Personnel Contact Center at 800-525-0102 for assistance. Air Force Reserve Command's Readiness Management Group officials released a notice to all IMA and PIRR Airmen Sept. 4 explaining the deadline. Airmen, who are having problem logging into ARMS, can call the RMG at DSN 497-2391 or commercial 478-327-2391 for assistance. Once the 90-day window closes, the paper copies of the records will no longer be kept or necessary, Ms. Young said. "We won't need the paper copies anymore once everything is in the electronic record, which can be printed as needs of an individual arise," she said. "Any new documents will automatically be loaded into the electronic record." Unit records are being scanned now, and Airmen will be notified individually by their military personnel flights when theirs are ready for review.
